Each month we feature on of our Team UBBDev Haxxors as our Haxxor-of-the-Month. This month we lassoed the Duke of URL and made him talk. What follows might not be suitable for children.
UBBDev : Thank you for agreeing to the interview Duke, I realize you are a busy man.
Duke : It ain't no thang, I always have time for a fellow brotha-in-arms in the fight against cancer.
UBBDev : ummm... right. OK, first question - where have been been recently? We haven't seen you around much...
Duke : You know me, I don't stay in one place long... After all, action is what the Duke of URL is all about.
UBBDev : O K... well, tell us a little about yourself. You seem a bit unconventional.
Duke : Unconventional times call for an unconventional man, and there's no man more unconventional than the Duke. Fueled by the funk, my funky sense of style, and my smooth way with the ladies, I live by my own rules - do my own thang, you know... from the street.
UBBDev : Was that your answer?
Duke : Solid!
UBBDev : What? Nevermind... What brought you to our community, and what has kept you crunching those UD units for so long?
Duke : I showed up at ubbdev back in the day when the site was just getting started. At the time I worked on a site - can't mention the name in a public forum, top top secret ultra-classified black-ops government work. Stylin it up, makin it look sexy, my usual thang.
UBBDev : yes...
Duke : Yes, as I was sayin... just on the side, but doin it right - really sexy. Anyways, always willin to help a brutha, I saw you guys startin the team ubbdev and thought I would jump in with both feet. After-all, I had spare cpu cycles just laying around, I could help the team and remain undercover.
UBBDev : That's mighty whi.. nevermind. How many computers do you have running? I've noticed your production has dropped a bit recemtly.
Duke : I originally had 4-5 high-powered govt. super-computers on the job.... some of those cray's
UBBDev : Cray Super Computers? How did...
Duke : I said, originally, then I found out the thing only ran on intel. So I popped it on a few computers lying around the crib. Couple P2's and a couple P3's, slow stuff, so it would crunch'em real good.
UBBDev : Faster is better, it does just as good a job and gets to the next one more quickly...
Duke : I'll bet that's what you try to convince the ladies too. Am I right or wrong?
UBBDev : You're wrong... nevermind about my ladies. :/
Duke : Anyways, as I was sayin, the Duke's computers really crunch them good, but the hardware is old and needs selective maintenance. I have 2 of them down right now while I polish the hard drives...
UBBDev : Well.. ok. I think we have enough information, thank you for the unusual interview.
Duke : Didn't i blow your mind this time.
UBBDev : Sure... Remind me to never interview you again when you've just watched UnderCover Brother.
Duke : You messed with the bro, I got to go.
UBBDev : What? Right... thank you again.
